  I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an “ad”. I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.

  I believe it is where I am too, 36+ is full-time for benefits requirements. Apparently the insurance company asked my employer to please make sure I was working at least 36hrs a week, because for a month or so I was only getting to 32.

  I tried it for an hour, the gameplay was just starting to get past intro stuff and seemed interesting sobut I had just awful performance with my 1080ti. Bad enough that I refunded it. I do wonder if that got fixed by now, but not enough to try again.

  I agree, that was basically tapping. Still inappropriate but not like, damaging.

  I feel like you’ll end up having to pick some compromises, or spend a lot of money. I think your best bet would be a desktop PC that has a bit more punch for less money than a laptop would be, and then also buy a laptop for your actual laptop needs, if you can find used options you might come in at budget. A laptop with integrated graphics can handle some games, you probably need to pick non-graphic intense games for gaming on the go.

  There are some new laptops coming out from Qualcomm that have a Snapdragon X, and they are not as versatile or powerful as Intel or AMD, but they are incredibly power efficient and cheaper. (They are new so we’ll see how that pans out )

  $1000 is not enough IMO for a catchall laptop with a modern GPU, AI capable, power efficient, repairable, and lightweight. A 800$ desktop and a $200 laptop/Chromebook/used thinkpad and SSD can probably cover your real use case of school laptop and also gaming/AI at home.

  It may be stretched or something but there are 16 marks in between the inch marks, it’s not like they skipped counting a line.

  Yeah but I’m doing 64 in a 55, passing the person doing 58 in the right lane and someone comes up behind me doing 75, acting like I’m impeding the flow of traffic.

  It takes a little while to pass someone without wildly breaking the law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A million more U.S. workers can now get overtime pay: 'Most employers absolutely do want to get this right'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “an employee making less than the new threshold who doesn’t manage anyone else, whose job doesn’t require them to exercise “independent judgment with respect to matters of significance,” according to DOL, and whose job doesn’t require advanced knowledge might qualify for overtime pay.”

  The limit used to be people making under like, 100k, and now the limit is like, 130k or something. How many people making between 100k and 130k have jobs that are not management and don’t require independent judgment with respect to matters of significance?

  Feels pretty niche to me, but I guess progress is good. I’m also wondering how many people in these positions don’t have significant bargaining power., as the article states this law is for those people.

  “0h h1” is a fun, easy logic puzzle game that I find myself going back to when I have a minute to kill.

  Looks like kingdom come deliverance and Witcher 3 are on sale, the “game of the year” editions. Both are good, though Kingdom Come is a bit more of a specific taste.
